1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 391 The Temptation of Food

A family of three took a break at the guest house.

Sunset West Mountain.

I followed Lao Li to a nearby small restaurant for dinner.The store is not very big, but it is not too small either. It has two floors. It should be the same as the old stores in Beijing, with a front store and a backyard style.

What's more interesting than the old shops in Beijing is that the shops here look more primitive and elegant in comparison.

With the bluestone strips on the street, it has a different mood.

Sit by the window on the second floor.

This store does not have private rooms and is open to the public.Leaning against the window and looking at the passers-by on the street, you can feel attentively this thousand-year-old city with the charm of Jiangnan culture.

While waiting for the famous "Taihu Three Whites".

The three whites of Taihu Lake refer to: white fish, white shrimp and whitebait. They are all white in color and are specialties of Taihu Lake, so they are named "Taihu Three Whites".

The methods of Taihu three whites in the three cities of Suxi, Changzhou are different. Most of them are steamed and boiled, which mainly emphasizes on maintaining the original flavor of the ingredients.

This Taihu Sanbai is a Taihu boat dish and belongs to the Jiangsu cuisine.

"Taihu boat dishes" can be understood literally, and you should know what it means. To put it simply, it is the dishes cooked while taking a boat.

If you want to talk about it in detail, it is the ancient dignitaries who used to go boating on the lake when they had nothing to do, especially on a painted boat.

Boathouses will provide exquisite lake dishes. Because the cooking method is completely different from the dishes in restaurants, the famous Taihu boat dishes gradually formed.

Taihu boat dishes pay attention to "true taste", and every dish is authentic. Taihu boat dishes are also very fresh. Another feature of Taihu boat dishes is that after the main course, several vegetarian dishes are especially fresh and tender.

Today, this shop is mainly engaged in Taihu boat dishes.

Several people not only ordered "Taihu Three Whites", but also ordered a traditional dish that can only be eaten in season - watermelon chicken.

According to the waiter in the store, this watermelon chicken was created by the famous chef of Kongfu in Dongshan Province and belongs to Shandong cuisine.

This is a dish made with watermelon. In ancient times, if anyone could have a bite of such a dish, they would definitely be rich or noble.

In ancient China, watermelon was not a popular commodity like it is now. For a long time, it was used as a tribute for royal consumption.

I also ordered a few Taihu boat dishes that I heard about for the first time.

The time waiting for delicious food is extremely painful.

"Mom, why hasn't the food come out yet? I'm so hungry."

Little October didn't eat at noon because he was busy making trouble. At this moment, his stomach was very noisy.

Sitting on the chair, he became disloyal. He pulled Zhu Lin, who was sitting next to him, and kept asking questions.

"Mom, can you hurry them up? They're so slow."

He is very familiar with this restaurant, and he often goes out to eat there.Even if the food is slow to come, he knows how to urge others to serve it faster.

"Don't be impatient. Sit quietly. The food will be here soon. Be obedient and don't mess around."

Looking at his posture, Zhu Lin could easily guess that he was preparing to push for an order.

Eating at his own restaurant in Beijing is a job he does a lot.

But today is different from the past. You can't be too sharp when you go out.

Seeing that Zhu Lin ignored his hunger, he turned to look at Luo Tao where the old god was.

The father and son looked at each other, and Luo Tao said: "I just ordered the food, and it was served so quickly. Now that I know you are hungry, if I ask you to eat at noon, you know how to have fun. You can't blame others for being hungry now."

He said ruthlessly: "Just be patient."

Lao Li smiled and said, "Xiao Shiyue is hungry? Let's tell them to hurry up, you wait, uncle will go and tell them."

This guy also became a father this year, and his wife returned to work before she was even pregnant. He is also a workaholic.

Now he is more or less doting on his children. Of course, it is not convenient for an outsider to say anything about the matters between him and his son.

As he said that, he was about to leave his seat and go downstairs.

"Lao Li, there is no need for you to come back, but you can't be too spoiled." Luo Tao felt a little awkward when he said this.

"How do you call it a child, my stomach is also rumbling. You sit down, and I will tell them to go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Lao Li went downstairs wearing leather shoes.

-

Zhu Lin spoke a few more words to Xiao Shiyue, teaching him to eat honestly when he should eat in the future, otherwise he would be hungry.

After being scolded, the boy pouted, wiped his face and stopped looking at Zhu Lin.

This was a major matter concerning his own belly, and he would not compromise so easily.

"Just give him a lesson. It's not like he doesn't know what you said. I think this kid is just pretending to be confused."

Luo Tao's words are right to the point. There is no better son than a father.

Zhu Lin glanced at Luo Tao but didn't say anything else. He turned to Xiao October and said, "If you're hungry, drink more water."

Little October looked back at Zhu Lin, thinking about her mother's words, feeling that there should be no problem.

During the hot summer season, restaurants prepare more herbal tea in advance.

Sit upright and hold the teacup by yourself, take a few sips slowly.

The tea in my stomach made me feel a little hungry, and then I drank a few more sips of tea.

This kid is also a real person.

Going around.

I don’t know what Lao Li is doing. This dish has been served, but he hasn’t come back yet.

The family of three watched and waited for him.

Little October looked at the dishes that were served, her chubby little hands scratched the edge of the table, and she swallowed her saliva several times.

Faced with the temptation of such delicious food, he did not dare to make a mistake in front of Zhu Lin.

He also knew a lot about the rules of eating with outsiders. He couldn't use his chopsticks in advance before the guests came.I just stared at him and drank herbal tea to relieve my appetite.

His small appearance made Luo Tao and his wife smile knowingly. They looked at him without responding and allowed the delicious food to seduce him, a foodie.

As a child now, he deserves praise for being able to restrain himself and obey the rules.

All the dishes were ready, and Lao Li also came back after ordering.

Seeing him coming up with food in his hands, Luo Tao and his wife knew that he had gone out to buy fast food.

He rushed forward and said, "Oh, tell me, why did you buy these things? Come on, come on, sit down and eat."

Luo Tao pulled him, "It's just a little bit of food. Come on, little October, let's see if you like it?"

Before he sat down, he handed the food to Little October. In front of the delicious food, he showed his childish nature again and was busy unwrapping the oil paper to read.

Zhu Lin slapped the back of his hand and said, "You're not polite. Say thank you to Uncle Li."

He looked at Zhu Lin and curled his lips, then smiled at Old Li and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

"Little October is so polite, you're welcome. Don't be stunned, untie it and eat it quickly!"

After he sat down, he sighed, "If my boy is half as good as Little October, I will be satisfied."

Luo Tao and his wife praised him and his son again. Regardless of anything else, they had to praise him for being so attentive to him today.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.
